-Built-in Hook Integration
-=========================
-
-.. note::
-
-    It is strongly suggested to use |Flake8| via `pre-commit`_ over the
-    built-in hook mechanisms.  ``pre-commit`` smooths out many of the rough
-    edges of ``git`` and is much more battle-tested than the |Flake8|
-    hook implementation.
-
-|Flake8| can be integrated into your development workflow in many ways. A
-default installation of |Flake8| can install pre-commit hooks for both
-`Git`_ and `Mercurial`_. To install a built-in hook, you can use the
-:option:`flake8 --install-hook` command-line option. For example, you can
-install a git pre-commit hook by running:
-
-.. prompt:: bash
-
-    flake8 --install-hook git
-
-This will install the pre-commit hook into ``.git/hooks/``. Alternatively,
-you can install the mercurial commit hook by running
-
-.. prompt:: bash
-
-    flake8 --install-hook mercurial
-
-
-Preventing Commits
-==================
-
-By default, |Flake8| does not prevent you from creating a commit with these
-hooks. Both hooks can be configured to be strict easily.
-
-Both our Git and Mercurial hooks check for the presence of ``flake8.strict``
-in each VCS' config. For example, you might configure this like so:
-
-.. prompt:: bash
-
-    git config --bool flake8.strict true
-    hg config flake8.strict true
-
-
-Checking All Modified Files Currently Tracked
-=============================================
-
-.. note::
-
-    Mercurial does not have the concept of an index or "stage" as best as I
-    understand.
-
-|Flake8| aims to make smart choices that keep things fast for users where
-possible. As a result, the |Flake8| Git pre-commit will default to only
-checking files that have been staged (i.e., added to the index). If, however,
-you are keen to be lazy and not independently add files to your git index, you
-can set ``flake8.lazy`` to ``true`` (similar to how you would set
-``flake8.strict`` above) and this will check all tracked files.
-
-This is to support users who often find themselves doing things like:
-
-.. prompt:: bash
-
-    git commit -a
-
-.. note::
-
-    If you have files you have not yet added to the index, |Flake8| will not
-    see these and will not check them for you. You must ``git-add`` them
-    first.
